What plant is that? Love the little guy
That is actually a Sunflower! My wife has been planting them over the last 3 years or so and this year they're upwards of 15 feet tall.
All of the neighborhood small animals are converging to eat the flowers, and the dogs are eating whatever the squirrels happen to drop.
Thanj you for the reply! I'm sure they will be gorgeous with their ruthless tiny guardians!
